The Banker's Wife by Cristina AlgerLearn about another entry on the list.
The milieu seems comfortable enough, placid, maybe even boring: American expats in finance in Geneva, a city not known for its thrills. Gotcha! The protagonist suddenly finds herself an unexpected widow when her banker husband dies in a plane crash, a suspicious accident that raises a variety of red flags and launches a diabolical, fast-paced plot that’s packed with compelling characters and sharp insights. Tremendous fun.
